Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Makeup Trends

We’ve again on the cusp of a new fashionable season that means nothing more than it is high time to start thinking over your fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 beauty looks. Thus we’ve picked out all the most fashionable and fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trends straight from the runways for you to draw inspiration for your own autumnal beauty transformation.

Fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Makeup Trend – NUDE MAKEUP

Again nude makeup trend steps into the forthcoming Fall/Winter 2011-2012 season. And no wonder actually as nude is never out. Fast, easy, natural and fresh is what never better reflects the concept of this uber trendy and fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trend.

Perhaps, the main difficulty here is to create radiant nude makeup (what is more important not to overdo, remember it is still nude makeup) that would accentuate your natural beauty. All you need is makeup foundation tone that perfectly suits your complexion, neutral eyeshadow shade, mascara to make your eyes pop, a bit of blush applied to the apples of your cheekbones for more vivid look and nude lip-gloss or lipstick color to complete the look.

Draw inspiration from the best runway beauty looks created by Balmain, Versace, Valentino, Alexander Wang and others:

Fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Makeup Trend – VAMPY LIPS

The Fall/Winter 2011-2012 season is all about contradiction. On the one hand there is nude or even almost no makeup, while on the other vampy lips of different shades. Everything from our fave orange and red lipstick shades to burgundy and dark purple ones. Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Fashion Shows were all over studded with vampy lip makeup looks. Such fashion gurus as Diane von Furstenberg and Yves Saint Laurent opted for saturated lip makeup coupled with flawless complexion.

Fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Makeup Trend – THICK EYEBROWS

Naturalness runs through all the Fall/Winter 2011-2012 beauty trends. We can kiss goodbye to thin over-plucked brows as now thick natural sometimes even boyish eyebrow look is ‘in’. Moreover Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trends make us to define eyebrows with black pencil as we saw on the runways of Alexander Wang, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Oscar de la Renta.

Fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Makeup Trend – VARICOLORED SMOKED EYES

Smoky eye makeup is one of the hottest Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trends though as usual. The only thing here that changes about smoky eyes is the eyeshadow shade. Classic version of ‘smokies’ like we saw on the runways of Dolce & Gabbana and Chloe fashion shows is also ‘in’ alongside with a bit more unusual eyeshadow shades like the ones that models sported on the fashion shows of Narciso Rodriguez, Chanel or heavily smoked eyes of Vera Wang and Roberto Cavalli models.

Fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Makeup Trend – EYELINER

Lines, lines and again lines… from thin winged eye lines to weird thick lines covering almost all the lid, fashion shows were stuffed with gorgeous beauty looks created just with an eyeliner. You can go for a classic version like the one that was spotted on the runways of Giorgio Armani or Gianfrance Ferre Fall/Winter 2011-2012 fashion shows. As well as you can opt for more dramatic version a la Dolce & Gabbana or Louis Vuitton models’ eye makeup.

Fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Makeup Trend – ORANGE EYE MAKEUP

And in conclusion I simply can’t pass through this fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trend spotted on the fashion shows of Rodarte, Donna Karan, Prada and many others. From warm autumnal orange eyeshadow shade to acid orange mixed with a bit pink, designers made orange eye makeup the newest Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trend.

Don’t get me wrong I love thee looks but the trends repeat year after year.

True, some of these are repetitive from seasons past – especially the whole red lipstick thing. I’m really liking this season’s bronzed smokey eye though. Last week I bought a golden bronze color called Disco Sunset from Mattify Cosmetics and used it with L’Oreal Telescopic liquid eye liner. Looked really hot and didn’t feel all heavy and over done like a black smokey eye can tend to. It’s a great daytime look.
